VPn at home with WBR-1310 Dlink

Im trying to host a vpn off my xp machine. I have it set up to accept incoming connections and i can locally connect to it. But I am behind a dlink wbr 1310 router and I cannot get a connection from the other side of it. I have port forwarding of port 1723 for pptp and 500 for IPsec and in vpn pathway section I have PPtp L2pt and ipsec passthrough all enabled. I dont know if that enables protocal 47 gre which is the error I get when I am trying to connect from the other side but I dont know what else to try. Im new at this stuff can anyone help.

Looked It Over

I looked it over. Everything on there I did the same except 2 things. I didn't uncheck the parallel port box when making the incoming connections thingy. And I didn't disable the ipsec and the L2TP settings in the router I had all 3 enabled. Unfortunately I cannot test this as my router is packed because I am leaving for School is it possbile either of these are my problem?
